    Default Help Writing the Company Newsletter (Mutants and Masterminds)

    So I'm running a game of Mutants and Masterminds, fairly standard Superhero setting (Society manages to resemble the modern world despite the presence of Mutants, mad scientists with Sci-fi tech, aliens, psychics, and magic). One of my Players is a member of something called The Agency (If it's actual name is said, everybody without proper security clearance just hears nothing. The character is simply known as Agent [REDACTED]).

    This is basically a fusion of Majestic-12, The SCP foundation, CADMUS, and the Umbrella Corporation.
    Either way, for the first session I wrote up the Agency Newsletter, which included some information relevant to the session, but mainly random funny stuff.

    I want more ideas.

    Here was the first Newsletter.

    Dr. [REDACTED] from Agency HQ would like to remind all agents to be vaccinated against Virus XV-13. It remains contained, but it’s learning. Related Bulletin: Agents are prohibited from playing cards with Virus XV-13.

    Needs more details about [REDACTED]. But then again, Agent [REDACTED]'s clearance might not be high enough to get that version of the newsletter.

    I don't have any ideas, but this is fantastic and now I have to clean soda off my monitor again.

    I have some ideas.

    Agent [REDACTED]'s home during the interagency softball game against Area 51's science team won last week's game. Please avoid all contact with Agent [REDACTED] until further notice.

    Mecha-Lincoln sightings are at all time low. Director [REDACTED] would like to thank all of you for your continuing hard work.
